He came in through the front door, according to police, and just sat down at first, before heading to the kitchen -- a process he repeated twice more.

After filling up, he then left the establishment, taking some pairs of sani-gloves with him, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Anybody who can ID the suspect is encouraged to contact the Georgetown County Sheriff’s Department at (843) 546-5102.
